Hello, Does anyone know if there is some trick to getting linux console output through the management processor on the rx2600? all the documentation states that the management card processor output mirrors the system console when not it it's managment mode -- which it does until linux starts.
linux console works fine when plugged into the 'normal' serial port (which is labeled 'console'), but when plugged into the console output of the management card (via the provided splitter) I see none of linux's output. same problem via telnet -- everything stops when efi stops. our hp support guy said he thinks hpux uses special /dev entries to output via the management card, i couldn't verify this. some extra info : we boot with console=ttyS0 >From the EFI boot maintenance menu I have * Acpi(PNP0501,0)/Uart(9600 N81)/VenMsg(Vt100) * Acpi(HWP0002,700)/Pci(1|1)/Uart(9600 N81)/VenMsg(Vt100) * Acpi(HWP0002,700)/Pci(2|0) selected as output/input/error devices. from .config # # Serial drivers # CONFIG_SERIAL_8250=y # CONFIG_SERIAL_8250_ACPI is not set CONFIG_SERIAL_8250_CONSOLE=y CONFIG_SERIAL_8250_HCDP=y # CONFIG_SERIAL_8250_EXTENDED is not set any suggestions appreciated! -i [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.gelato.unsw.edu.au
